Talk:Serial monogamy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Cultures
Might discuss (here or elsewhere): by whom, in what cultures and under what circumstances is marriage following the death of a spouse considered unacceptable. --Daniel C. Boyer 16:27, 7 Oct 2003 (UTC)
[edit] Serial polygamy
from Talk:Serial polygamy this article needs to be renamed. It is not serial polygamy, it is Serial Monogamy -- just like a serial killer (a bad comparison, but useful) kills one person at a time, but over and over, a serial mogamist is married to one person at a time, but over and over. All the scholarly literature I know on this topic refers to it as serial mogamy or (the term I prefer) Chain Marriage, not serial polygamy Slrubenstein
- Renaming sounds fine, but maybe this could redirect to the new one. I think I've heard the term 'serial polygamy' used in more popular writing, possibly something like Megatrends or Megatrends 2000. Is mogamy a contraction for monogamy? Wesley
Made a redirect. 'Serial polygamy' doesn't fit the definition of polygamy.
Serial polygamy was moved here to preserve the page history.
